Goodwin Trust

Goodwin Volunteer Doula Service Conference

The Conference Hall, The Octagon, Walker Street, Hull

This exciting event brings you:

Andrea Robertson of Birth International, will be discussing how pregnant women

need a friend and supporter, who believes they will master the effort of giving birth

and will go on to mother their babies successfully. Doulas have a proven record in

this regard and can make a huge difference to the beginnings of family life for

those in their care.

Ruth Weston owner of Aquabirths, chair of MSLC, veteran campaigner, stroppy

mum will be discussing the dynamics of working together to make change happen!

Selina Nylander is a Doula and teacher of public health and will be looking at

optimising the space within hospital rooms as a birth partner/midwife and

incorporating ideas to facilitate physiological birth.

Sheena Byrom, Head of Midwifery, East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust, will share

with us examples of how women and midwives have worked together to achieve a

positive birth under adverse circumstances.
